The narrator described a boy who wished or longed to become a great swimmer. His bed became his pool. As he jumped to his bed, he feels like he was the greatest swimmer ever. He became a dolphin with a shoal using his thigh and flexible body. His mental imagery turned into verity as he closes his eyes and thinks of a smooth paradise. However, a dream is always a dream. The boy went back to reality as he heard someone threw a stone in his window.The first of all stanza of the rime seemed to be difficult because it shows abundant signs and symbolisms that readers could not good understand the topic of the poem or the attack of the author to the smell of creativity and imagination. The most difficult part in this stanza is the first one-third lines Upon the ecstatic diving board the diver, / poise for parabolas, lets go / lets go his manshape to become a shuttle. In the first read, I can say that I could not understand the scenario of the poem because of the complexities of th e diving board for water and bird for air but aft(prenominal) reading it many times, it simply represents the depiction of the boy imagining himself as a diver with a high jump like a bird before coming to the water pool.On the other hand, my favorite portrayal in this poem is in the second stanza He rolls in his mountain of fruit, / he slides his belly over / the melonrinds of water, curved and smooth and green. For me it illustrates the childish work on of the boy as he imagines himself as a diver in a deep pool. His flexible body and astonishing moves give me an cerebration about the conviction of the boy to become a swimmer or it can also be seen as a frustration of persuasion as he wanted to pursue his dream.Work CitedLone Bather. p.44
